Lewis County Emerging Professionals to Celebrate
10-Year Anniversary
A Decade of Community Celebrated with Local Brews,
Food, and Prizes
LOWVILLE, NY — Lewis County
Emerging Professionals (EP) will celebrate its 10-year anniversary with a
special Happy Hour event on Wednesday, May 6, from 5:00–8:00 PM at Second
Place Beer Company in Lowville. The event is open to the public and invites
community members of all ages and backgrounds to join in recognizing a
decade of connection and engagement across Lewis County.
The evening will
feature food by El Buen Sazón, a free trivia
activity, and a community raffle highlighting local businesses that have
supported EP over the years. Attendees can pick up a trivia sheet upon
arrival for a chance to be entered into the raffle, which will include gift
cards and merchandise from area establishments.
Founded in 2016
as a capstone project of the Lewis County Leadership Academy, Emerging
Professionals was created to help young adults build social and
professional connections within the community. What began as a simple idea
has grown into a sustained effort to foster belonging, leadership, and
engagement across the region.
Over the past ten
years, EP has hosted monthly happy hours, networking events, hikes,
volunteer opportunities, and signature fundraisers, including Trivia Nights
and New Year’s Eve Galas, bringing together individuals from a wide range
of industries, backgrounds, and stages of life.
Co-founder and
current Board President McKenzie Lehman offers
these reflections on the event:
“This event is
both a celebration and an invitation. We’re proud of the community that’s
grown over the past decade, and we’re excited to welcome new faces. Whether
you’ve been involved for years or are just hearing about EP for the first
time, this is a great opportunity to connect.”
The
May 6 Happy Hour is open to anyone interested in attending, regardless
of membership. Those looking to get more involved are encouraged to attend
events, connect with current members, and consider joining EP to support
its mission of strengthening community ties in Lewis County.
